Recipe Category: Snack | Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Fine Rava - 1/2 cup
Wheat Flour - 1/4 cup
Maida - 1/4 cup
Sugar - 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp
Coconut - 2 tbsp grated
Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp
Cooking soda - 1/8 tsp
Salt - a tiny pinch
Water - as needed
Oil - to deep fry
Method:
- Take rava in a mixing bowl, add water till immersing level, water should not float.Set aside for an hr.
- After an hr add wheat flour and maida, then sugar to rava mixture.
- Add water to it and mix well to form a thickish batter, more like idli batter consistency.
- Add coconut, cardamom powder, baking soda and salt , mix well.Heat oil - spoon the batter and add it to the kadai.Use a deep curved laddle / spoon to get round shaped appams.
- Do not crowd , it will puff up well.Cook on both sides till golden brown.Drain in tissue paper.
My Notes:
- I made small appams to fit in my kadai.
- Adding wheat flour is optional.You can add maida instead.
- After adding baking soda,do not let it rest.Make the appams at once.
- If you want to cut down oil,then make it in paniyaram pan.
